Holynix 1.0 beta Release Notes

Similar to the de-ice and pWnOS pentest cds, Holynix is an ubuntu server vmware image that was deliberately built to have security holes for the purposes of penetration testing. More of an obstacle course than a real world example. The object of the challenge is to gain root level privileges and access to personal client information.

Difference between beta and final

• Set HD to non-persistant so any mistakes will be fixed at reboot.

To make sure that the files haven't been altered in any manner, you can check the checksum of the file.
This makes sure that the you have acquired the same file which was transferred to you, without being modified/changed/damaged.

Some authors publish the checksums in the README files, on their homepages or sometimes inside compressed archive (if it has been compressed).
VulnHub also lists the MD5 & SHA1 checksums for every file which it offers to download, allowing you to check. You can find all the checksums here, otherwise, they will be individually displayed on their entry page. To check the checksum, you can do it here.

You can find out how to check the file's checksum here.
